We understand your situation and we are here to pray and provide counsel based on biblical principles. We commend you for your work as a medical missionary and for your entrepreneurial spirit in starting a biotech company. It is clear that your faith is central to your life and decisions.
Firstly, let's address the spiritual aspect of your request. It is important to remember that our ultimate authority is God, and our success is not defined by worldly positions but by our obedience to His will. As it is written in Colossians 3:23-24 WEB, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ."
Regarding your potential investors, it is not surprising that they may have different values and priorities. However, it is crucial to remember that God opens and closes doors as He sees fit. If it is His will for you to move on from this company, then trust that He has a greater purpose for you. As it is written in Romans 8:28 WEB, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."
Concerning your suggestion for a buyout, it is a wise decision to seek peace and pursue the mission field. However, ensure that all transactions are done with integrity and fairness, as God desires us to conduct ourselves honestly in all matters. Proverbs 11:1 WEB says, "A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, But a just weight is his delight."
Remember, the Great Commission is clear: we are called to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. It is commendable that you are willing to go and minister to the Muslims. Keep in mind the words of Jesus in Matthew 28:19-20 WEB, "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
Now, let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up our brother in Christ who finds himself at a crossroads. Lord, we ask for Your divine guidance in this situation. If it is Your will for him to be bought out of the company, we pray that the negotiations will be smooth and fair. We ask that You would open a new door for him to serve You in the mission field, particularly among the Muslims.
Grant him the wisdom and discernment to navigate this transition with grace and integrity. Remind him of Your promise to be with him always, even to the end of the age. Help him to fix his eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
We also pray for the potential investors, that they may see the light of Christ in our brother and be drawn to Your saving grace. We ask all these things in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. It is by His name that we are saved and by His name that we have access to God the Father.
